So, now that two of the three paintings in this "project" are finished, I have all the time just for the third.
=))
Here an overview of the development of it. The first two pictures are when I was still working on all three of the paintings.
 |
| Just the outlines in pencil. |
 |
| Some black for the eye and back added. |
 |
| Adding a background first, but leaving the tree stump and squirrel free of paint. |
Since then I have done more to this painting. But slowly, with enough time for the color to dry between layers.
 |
| The basic color for the tree stump. |
 |
| Some more details on the tree stump - with shadows. |
 |
| Adding the basic color for the squirrel - the eye was moved a bit more the the snout too. |
To actually paint the squirrel took me a week of hesitating. And I'm still not quite sure on how to get the fur "realistic" enough. This is the hardest part to figure out. A learning experience - and hopefully one that I can apply to that cat face painting I want to do since April.
Long way to go - and still having fun!!
